pring in the Shenandoah Valley is a breath of fresh air, both figuratively and literally. The warm breezes carry with them the sweet perfume of flowers crowded in boxwood gardens in the colonial towns. The lush green of the rolling countryside provides the perfect backdrop for orchards resplendent with the delicate pink and white of apple blossoms. We invite you and your family to share in our celebration of springtime by attending the 85th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® in Winchester, Virginia from April 27th - May 6th. During the Festival, Winchester residents open their doors to tens of thousands of new guests and old friends who gather in this All-America Community for the traditional celebration of a promising apple crop. From the pomp and pageantry of the Queen’s Coronation to the mechanized wonder of the Firefighters’ Parade; from the glitter and glow of our tremendous Fireworks Show to the serene beauty of the floats in our Grand Feature Parade, the Festival has something for the entire family. Carnival; circus; midway; dinners; dances; displays; shows: make plans for your family to be part of the fun at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival®, our 85th Anniversary! For additional information call 540-662-3863 or go to www.thebloom.com for a complete schedule of events.

A
fter his defeat at Kernstown, General “Stonewall” Jackson was not happy. He was convinced that Brigadier General Richard Garnett’s retreat had exposed Colonel Samuel Fulkerson’s flank and had prevented reinforcements from stemming the tide of the battle. Garnett was arrested and relieved of his command for “neglect of duty.” Federal intelligence was poor; no one knew what was behind Jackson and no one believed Jackson would have attacked without support nearby. Federal command assumed there was a greater presence in the Valley than Jackson’s small force. As a result, they took a defensive position. While Kernstown was a defeat for Jackson, the results benefitted him greatly. His brash attack caused the Federals to fear him so much they tapped strength from their drive toward Richmond. On April 1, Major General Nathaniel Banks’ forces advanced from Strasburg to Woodstock. Jackson stayed close enough to watch him, but far enough away to avoid him at Rude’s Hill between Mount Jackson and New Market. Meanwhile, Banks was essentially told by President Lincoln to keep Jackson in front of him until he knew what lay behind him. He was then to push Jackson back and 34 A P RIL 2 0 1 2
assume a position to “prevent his return.” By mid-April, Lincoln had reorganized the Federal Army by creating three new commands independent of Major General George B. McClellan. Major General Irvin McDowell commanded forces in the Manassas area, Banks in the Shenandoah Valley and Major General John C. Fremont in western Virginia. They all reported directly to Lincoln. A foot or more of snow had fallen in some locations and the resulting mud restricted movement until April 17 when Banks advanced toward Harrisonburg. Banks surprised Colonel Turner Ashby by fording Stony Creek where pickets had not been placed. Ashby’s men had to fight their way back to Rude’s Hill. Assuming Banks had been reinforced, Jackson marched to Harrisonburg on April 18. The following day, he marched eastward to Swift Run Gap, outside the Valley. Banks controlled the Valley as far south as Harrisonburg, but had misinterpreted Jackson’s intent. Knowing that Jackson was east of the Blue Ridge, Banks thought he was headed for Richmond and proposed to move in pursuit. Lincoln, instead, detached Brigadier General James Shields’ division from him and sent it to Fredericksburg, leaving THE VALLEY REVUE C A L EN DA R MAGA Z IN E

into a position to threaten Banks and Jackson would threaten Milroy. Had Fremont’s army in western Virginia combined forces with Banks, Jackson could have been easily overwhelmed. Jackson executed his plan on April 30. Banks had erroneously concluded that Jackson had left the Valley. When Lincoln withdrew Shields, the road opened for Jackson to keep Banks in the Valley. Jackson’s Valley Campaign would now begin in earnest. During this campaign, Stonewall’s legend grew and the Confederacy gained a new national hero.

Banks with a single division and orders to retreat and assume a defensive position at Strasburg. Jackson’s force was now isolated. Orders were received on April 21 requesting that Jackson and Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell attack Banks. This would reduce the threat against Richmond from McDowell by drawing attention to Jackson. Brigadier General Robert H. Milroy was Jackson’s target; he occupied the village of McDowell and threatened the Confederate supply depot at Staunton. The plan was to move Ewell

erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life. In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs. The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß

edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees. Distinctive In 1738, the Hedges family began to Gifts & acquire land just east of the gap. During the Handcrafted Arts French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a n Pottery n Home & Garden Decor stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges.

The town was laid out in 1832 and www.northmountainarts.com established as Hedgesville by the Virginia in Historic Hedgesville, WV General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law 304-754-5727 was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 the Town Council was given control of the Soft Serve Ice Cream springs. with all the trimmings A number of antebellum historic structures Cones, Sundaes, Shakes, Floats still line the village streets, including many 107 E.
